    Default Hello everyone

    Hi everyone,

    I am definitely not the average HiFi-type for not having an ultimate High End system. Mostly I listen to Jazz and classical music, also older recordings. A good interpretation is much more important to me than a good recording. I prefer to listen through the technical shortcomings above having a perfect recording with a moderate artist.
    But lately I noticed at a friendīs place that even with a technical "bad" recording a good system can increase the enjoyment of listening a great deal.
    So, by reading this great forum I hope to widen my horizon a bit and slowly to be able to improve my system somewhat.
    Since 16 years I own a Cambridge C+P 500 Amp with the D 500 CD-player, together with B&W 602īs. Especially my speakers I would like to exchange, I listened to some Proacīs and Kudos that I liked a lot (but they were also combined to more sophisticated amps as Cyrus and Naim).

    Greetings frm Germany

    Don't necessarily give up on your amp or CD player, if I recall correctly your amp received some rave reviews when new for its price range, it might no be a top end amp but that does not mean if matched well to speakers it won't produce good results. Also new gear is not necessarily better produced that gear built 20-30 years ago or more.
    Listening is the act of aural discrimination and dissemination of sound, and accepting you get it wrong sometimes.

    Default RE: Hello

    Thanks guys.
    @AJSki2fly I will then look for some decent standmounters first and see (hear) what difference this could make already.
    Best, Jochen
